Abstract:
Introduction:Caffeine use disorder (CUD), a problematic caffeine use pattern, is yet to be recognized
under DSM-5 and is under consideration for further research. This study aimed to determine if the
sex, employment status, and smoking status of Quezon City residents aged 18 years old and above are
associated with CUD, and to determine the mean daily caffeine consumption (MDCC) of caffeinated
products and the proportion of individuals meeting the CUD criteria.
Methods:A total of 334 respondents accomplished the online survey that collected socio-demographic information and evaluated CUD using an 8-point Caffeine Consumption Questionnaire (CCQ).
Results:The study population was mostly composed of females, unemployed, and non-smokers. Results showed that 17% of respondents have CUD, that brewed coffee was most consumed daily, the MDCC of the study population was 158.31 mg; and females were at an increased risk for CUD, while nonsmokers and unemployed individuals were at reduced risk.
Conclusion:The proportion of Quezon city residents that have CUD is at 17%, consuming an average of 158.31 mg of coffee daily, with brewed coffee being consumed most. Female residents are at an increased risk of having CUD, while nonsmokers and unemployed individuals are at a decreased risk. - Full text:UERM Association between.pdf
